Ivory Tower Chords & Lyrics - Tripod

[Em]I was made in [B7]darkest night of [C]chalky ash and [Am]children's fright
[Em]I do not think you k[B7]now what you beh[Em]old
I was made of a[B7]ching hurt of f[C]airy tales and bl[Am]oody dirt
[Em]I hope you do ex[B7]actly as you're t[Em]old

[C]Siegfried and Saint George, [Em]Potter, Baggins, Beowulf
[C]Were tempered in my forge, [B7]So I say to you and yours:

[Am]All caught fire in the [Em]ivory tower
In the m[Am]arble arches in the d[G]ust and darkness
And I [Am]have you, you're [B7]on my m[Em]ind

[Em]Once a mighty [B7]tree was grown, f[C]or you to know [Am]all that is known
[Em]I hope you hear exa[B7]ctly what I [Em]say
And by your sword a b[B7]ranch came down, and w[C]here the blood fell t[Am]o the ground
[Em]It is my cradle and [B7]there I must [Em]stay

[C]And should ever you return, [Em]well I must confess my story
[C]To be true, you will be burned, and I [B7]hope that you have learned

[Am]All caught fire in the [Em]ivory tower
[Am]In the marble arches in the [G]dust and darkness
[Am]And all caught fire in the [Em]ivory tower
[Am]And I have you, [B7]you're on my mind [Am]
You're [B7]on my mind [Am]
[B7]You're on my mind [Em]
